I can't recall. Did the Persuader have an 8 round mag? Did it have the threaded magazine cap or the bolt to tighten down the barrel? If it didn't (doesn't) have an 8 round mag then yeah, get the 590.

If it does have a high cap mag, do you need a bayonet lug? Or a steel trigger gaurd [A1]? (Can't recall of the persuader had a steel one either.) As mentioned, if you like the heat shield, there are ones available for the 500.

I gotta say, however, I do have a few 590s and an M9 bayonet and it does look pretty kickass when its on one of them. As a side note, if you get an M9 for the 590, you might have to grind down a part of the mag cap to get it to fit. If you use an M7 bayo, you'll be OK without any modifications.
